Tape Echoes

With the Drive and Dirt features, you can easily drench your track in wobbly, glitchy, distorted delay. And by setting the delay time to minimum, you can achieve a classic old-school grit.

Crafted by experts

Tape Echoes hearkens back to the legacy and the spirit of Softube giant Tape, with precise A/B testing and fine-tuning to sound exactly like the original hardware that inspired it – or better.

Tape Echoes’ exclusive Drive & Dirt features let you quickly and easily go from gentle realism to extravagant saturation. Drive offers preamp and tape distortion, while Dirt’s parameters affect tape speed, wobble, flutter, dropouts, and frequency response.

Tap into tape

The Number of Taps knob captures the resounding depths of classic tape delay hardware. Mimicking the sound, behavior, and timing of analog tape delay heads, it lets you glide effortlessly between one, two, or three taps. The feedback dials in and emphasizes the taps for a natural, analog effect.

Realistic and versatile

Tape Echoes features a realistic analog delay and spring reverb that perform just like the hardware upon which they’re based. Use the Delay Time fader to set the timing of the first tap, and the other two go with the flow. Place the reverb in parallel or before the delay line to slide seamlessly from authentic, clean analog to reverb soaked with distortion.
